Day 1: Scouting For Muleys

Within 5 minutes I had a bachelor herd of three bulls located.... ah! It feels good to finally be here, not to mention actually finding elk on the first morning of scouting. Two small raghorns ( A 5x5 and a 6x6) and nice mature 5x5 with long beams...I found a great mule deer buck in the canyon as well. On my way back to the trailhead I spotted a bachelor herd of 5 mule deer feeding amongst the wildflowers out in the open. One really nice buck with them. After a practice stalk... (I made it to 45 yards from the good buck) I headed to another glassing point to view where I'd come from... I found a big bull moose after 10 minutes.... man Utah has game everywhere!!! I got back to the truck around 11:45 and took to the road...

I drove just about every road on the east side of the North Cache unit checking trailheads on my maps and familiarizing myself with the country... I found a really nice spot to shoot my bow and glass so I stopped and set up the 15's.... at 3:45 I found a really nice bull (too far to count points)... but he was a step above what I found this morning. I spotted a few cows here and there over the next four hours... one even came right into the same spot on a run... I'm hoping there's a water source that I might be able to set up on during my hunt. I also managed to sight in a few more pins on my bow.... 70 and 80 yards... I don't plan on using them but it's nice to have confidence in your set up..... I also fletched 4 arrows for Katie's bow while I was glassing.... multitasking at it's finest!

Day 1 of Scouting in the North Cache in the books. I'm off to Salt Lake to pick up Katie from the airport and we'll turn around and be glassing by the evening.
